Opening ports on Linksys WRT54GL router

I have a Linksys WRT54GL router hooked up to a Power Mac G4 running the latest version Tiger. I need to configure the router so that I can permit iChat to function properly. Which ports do I need to open to make this happen?

Hio Roland,
This device should have UPnP in the Administration page
It should look like this http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/iChatPicsFolder/8ModemRouter/Linksys%20Router/slides/5_RouterModem-UPnP.html
The IP 192.168.1.1 used in a web browser (no http or www) will get you the pop up.
The User ID and Paasword are both admin by default.
That should get you to the Basic Set Up page
Choose Administration and set UPnP and Save settings.
DO not have anything in Port Forwarding or Port Triggering.
In the Security page Disable Blocking Anonymous Pings

How to configure network printer with Linksys WRT54GL router network

I just bought a Linksys WRT54GL router and I am planning to build the following home-network around it:
1. A desktop computer connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
2. An HP Network Printer (Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP) connected to router via ethernet cable (hard-wired).
3. A notebook connected to router via Wi-Fi.
I want both computers (desktop and notebook) to be able to share files, and also to share the same network printer.
a. How do I do this?
b. Do I need to install the printer drivers in both computers as if the printer was local for each one?
c. What settings do I need to include in the Linksys router settings (and also the printer settings) to allow all this? I've read on the internet about DHCP configs, IP address, etc. but I hardly understand anything.
A step-by-step ("for dummies") explanation will be extremely appreciated.

You will need to install the printer driver on each computer that will be using the printer. You will need to have a printer driver that is designed to be used on a network. Many of HP's drivers (but not all of them) can be used for either a USB or a network connection.
Usually, when you use HP's printer installation software, it will walk you through the printer installation procedure, and install the printer drivers. This software is normally located on a CD that came with the printer. Some installation software demands that you setup a USB connection first, then switch to a network connection. Other installation software might install a network connection directly. Just follow the HP directions.
There are no special settings in the router. Simply wire (using an ethernet cable) your printer to a LAN port on the router, when the installation software (or instructions) tells you to do so.
Your printer will likely get a different LAN IP address (192.168.1.x ) from time to time. Some printer drivers can handle this and still work properly. Other printer drivers get confused, and cannot find your printer when it changes addresses. If your driver has this problem, then you will need to assign your printer a fixed LAN IP address. This will force the printer to have the same LAN IP address each time you boot up your network. If you need to do this, you will need to enter the LAN IP address directly into your printer (Sometimes this is done using the printer's buttons and display panel, and sometimes this is done using HP printer software). Note that any fixed LAN IP address must be outside your DHCP server range (defaults are 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 ) , and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255. If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, I would suggest you use 192.168.1.13 , which should be easy to remember by looking at the model number of your printer. If you need to use a fixed LAN IP address, you will also need to enter the Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 , and DNS Server 192.168.1.1 , into your printer. If you use a fixed LAN IP address in the printer, you do not need to change any settings in the router. The router will automatically find your printer when you turn your printer on. Even if your printer is using a fixed LAN IP address, your computers can continue to get their address automatically from the router's DHCP server.

Port Forwarding in WRT54GL Router does not work

When i forward ports in the firware it does not work correctly. I tested it using http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and it still said that the port was closed.

Who is your ISP. When you do port forwarding make sure you have entered the IP address of the computer for which you need to enable port forwarding. Under "Security" Tab uncheck "Block Anonymous Internet Request" and click on Save Settings.After this try testing if that port is opened or not.What ports numbers you are trying to open on your router.

Help opening ports on my WRT2GS2 Router

I went into the web based page and set the ports to what i needed, then clicked enable, but when I try to run the Minecraft server and allow others to connect, only I can connect. Help please.

Who is your Internet service provider?
Try to upgrade/re-flash the firmware on your router.
Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable. Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. Open the setup page of the router and upgrade the firmware on your router.
After upgrading the firmware on your router, press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.

Netgear Modem and WRT54GL Router

Hi all,
I have a wired network using a Netgear Modem and have recently decided to implement a wireless hotspot for users to connect via their wireless laptops etc.
Because of the DHCP facility in the WRT54GL router (allocating ip addresses automatically etc.), I was recommended to this route.
What I'm sitting with is that the Netgear Modem's default IP address is 192.168.0.1 and all my wired desktops are setup using IP addresses following on from that (e.g. 192.168.0.100 / 192.168.0.101 etc etc.)
The Linksys's default IP address is 192.168.1.1
I've managed to change that to 192.168.0.2 so that it can be seen on the same network, but now:-
1.) How do I access the router's adminstrative settings (previously it was : IE Browser > typing in 192.168.1.1 and inserting my username and password and I was in). When I go to IE Browser > typing in 192.168.0.2 it says it cannot "display the page" and no matter what I do, I cannot get to access it. I can ping the 192.168.0.2 address and replies so it is connected etc. Any suggestions?
Also, I've installed a 2nd PCI card in my server (that controls the internet access to the desktops etc.) and shared the internet connection from LAN1 (onboard motherboard network port). I've connected the Linksys WRT54GL Router via a cable from the LAN2 port to Port1 on the Linksys. Linksys DHCP setting is disabled as well. What should happen is that when a wireless laptop connects to the internet, the DHCP should allocate an IP address to the laptop and should be able to have access to the internet.
2.) On the wireless laptop, when searching for a wireless connection, I can see the Linksys Router and can connect. I have connection as Skype connects perfectly but yet, I cannot access the Internet. When typing in a website address, it comes up saying "Unable to Display Page". If I type in http://216.239.51.100 I get the google home page but if I type in the web address, nothing !! I have been told that it could be a DNS problem but no one can tell me how to fix it. Any suggestions?
Can anybody out there shed some light on these 2 issues?
Thank you
Heinz

3GS and Linksys WRT54GL Hangs

Guys,
I've run into an interesting problem with my new 3GS. This is my first iPhone, and it doesn't appear to be playing nicely with my router. I know there are a few different threads on Wifi issues - but I think my problem is different. My 3GS Wifi connection seems to be fine - but I think it's causing my router to hang.
I have had a Linksys WRT54GL router running my home network for the past few years, and it has been flawless. However, after having bought my 3GS (picked up on Monday), my router has now hung twice - requiring a reboot. Here are the details.
Network:
- Linksys WRT54GL Router (wireless on, channel 9)
- PPPoE login to DSL through a Westell 327W router configured as a DSL modem (DHCP off, wireless off)
- WEP encryption on the router (128bit Hex), broadcast SSID off
- A second WRT54GL router configured as a wireless access point (DHCP off, wireless on, channel 9)
- Latest firmware on both Linksys devices
iPhone:
- Wifi left on all the time (phone goes to sleep, wakes up and reconnects fine)
- No 3G in this area, so 3G turned off
- Email set to 'push'
In both cases, my router has hung overnight. I woke up in the morning with no internet connection - wired or wireless. I have two computers hardwired to the router, and they lose connectivity to the network as well. The only solution is to power cycle the router. The router configured as an access point appears to be unaffected. At the moment, I'm wondering if it is somehow related to the IP address lease time - and the iPhone being set to push with wireless on. However, I'm not sure if push uses wifi at all if the phone is asleep.
I'm going to try some experiments, but they will probably take a while. I'm going to try going a few nights with the wireless on the phone turned off. Then I'm going to try going to 'fetch' instead of 'push'. The last thing I'm going to try is swapping the 'routers'. One is newer than the other, so I suppose the older one could be failing - but it just seems odd. It's only a couple of years old.
Does anyone have any other thoughts? Has anyone else noticed router hangs?
Thanks,
Mike

I left my phone turned on last night with the WIFI on. I left early this morning and didn't check the router but it is fine this evening.
I am not sure what was going on when I restarted my router the other day but I remember that neither the iPhone nor my MacBook were able to connect to the internet. My modem appeared to be functioning fine by the lights so I did not restart it.
All has been fine since I restarted the one time.
The only thing I can possibly think of is that both my 3G and my 3Gs have the same name and were both on at the time. The 3G is not active and has a different MAC address so that really shouldn't bother the router. I am just guessing AT&T would deny it access to the internet.

WRT54GL Router and HP Wireless Notebook

I have a Linksys WRT54GL router with v4.30.5 firmware and a SpeedStream 5360 modem with SBC Yahoo! DSL. My desktop is connected directly to the router and the internet works fine. I can connect to my wireless network on my HP wireless notebook with an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG network adapter, but I can't connect to the internet. It sends packets, but hardly receives any (about 5 per minute). Windows Automatic Updates works fine, when I update the received packets increases, but I still cannot browse the internet. Even when I try a wired connection I get the same results, packets sent but few received. I've tried resetting the modem, and router, and repairing my adapter with no success. Thanks for any help.

Change the following settings
ssid-"yourname"
channel=11
beacon interval =50
RTS and Fragmentation threshold (default value) -40
the last 3 options are found under advanced wireless settings .
then restart ur wireless PC and re-connect to the wireless network.
if u have issues even after these settings....verify that u have the latest firmware
also u may need to change the power management option for your intel wireless pro NIC.
to do so....u need to go to the advanced properties of the Intel......under the "property" column...select "power management" and change the value to "highest"
in case u have any confusion....call tech support...n tell them what u wanna do....
my experience with linksys tech has been good so far

WRT54GL router's DHCP Active IP Table don't show wired ones?

Hello.
On my old Linksys WRT54GL router (with its latest stock firmware)'s http://192.168.1.1/DHCPTable.asp for DHCP Active IP Table, it only shows wireless connections. How come it doesn't show wired ones?
Thank you in advance.

Make sure the wired computers are not on static ip configuration, that there's no IP address permanently assigned to them. They should all be on DHCP, getting IP addresses from the router. If that's ok. It could be with the fw of the router. I suggest you may reflash it but if it didn't resolve the issue, reset the router then reconfigure it. Because on the DHCP client's table, it should show there all devices connected wired and wirelessly thru the router.
Here's the link for the download site.

Oh goofy me. Yes, I am using static IP addresses for the wired computers. Hmm, is there a way to view those static IP addresses?

Linksys E1200 Router not saving Port Forwarding changes

Hi!
I am currently attempting to port forward on my Linksys E1200 Router and am not succeeding in saving my settings. I am attempting to open port 25565 though both Single Port Forwarding and Port Range Forwarding, and whenever I click the "save settings" button, I receive a full window message stating that my changes have been saved. Upon clicking this, I return to the previous screen whereupon my changes have been erased and my port has not been forwarded. Can anyone assist me with this? I've searched for hours through forums and tech help websites, but I can't find anyone else with this issue.
Issue:

Hi there. You can try another browser or a different computer. If it is the same thing, upgrade the firmware of the router. You can refer to this link on how to http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=0a6881b90224439b92c8d8f19ca42e5d_21511.xml&pid=80&...

I have a dvr and I want to monitor from my phone. this worked when I had a Belkin router that let me open ports. I use "canyouseeme" and it can't see 80, 9000 or 1025. How do I make them available?

I have a Lorex DVR that I want to monitor from my IPhone and IPad. I used to be able to do this when I had a Belkin router (easy to open ports) but I bought the AirPort Extreme router and no longer have that capability. When I use "canyouseeme" they can NOT see 80, 9000 or 1025. Lorex says I need them all available in order to access. Help! And all the help I see refers to a earlier version of the AirPort Utility so I cant use those to look at anything, I cant find the same screens, I have version 6.1 (610.31). I also don't really understand how ports work, so I need a pretty basic explanation.

Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025. So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3). When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr. I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports. This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.

Disconnected iPhone 4S causes Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 router to reboot?

Hello!
For the past several months, I noticed my old Linksys WRT54GL v1.1 router (using the latest stock firmware) likes to reboot. I think I finally figured out its pattern. I think my house mate's Apple iPhone 4S (iOS 5 [will 6 fix it?]) is making my router reboot. I know he uses the house's wireless Internet to avoid his Verizon's capped, slower 3G Internet connection. It seems like when he goes out and after a few minutes later, my router sometimes will reboot.
That makes no sense. Weird! I never see this problem if he is out of town for days/weeks. I don't know how that is related. Is there something funky with this router and iPhone 4S' wifi? Is it a known issue? Electronics are so weird!
Thank you in advance.

IT is still the router's problem.
Routers are not expensive. Get a new one.
Or, I think the WRT54 model routers can be re-flashed with the 'Tomato' or the 'dd-wrt' firmware.
Or you could chech if Cisco has its own firmware update for your router.
I did mention I was "using the latest stock firmware". I will see if a third party firmware will help even though it is tricky and easy to brick the router.

Linksys WRT300N Open port 443, Lease Time

Hello. Definite Newbie here.
I have my router's IP address up on my browser and I was wondering how to open port 443 and to make my "Lease time" at its maximum. Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Erik

pen an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Once you login to the setup page of your Router, under the setup tab below change the DHCP Client lease time from to 0 to any number to increase the lease time.
Then click on the "Application and Gaming" tab and below click on the sub tab "Port Forwarding" and below in the Application name type any name and then in the Start Port and End Port type the Port number and select the Protocol and input the IP address on which you want to Forward the Port and check the box and click on save settings..
You can follow this link and it will help you in forwarding the port on your router.

Opening ports on the router

I want to open three ports 3389,5132,5133 on the router so that remote user can access the local server. The serial interface address is 69.109.x.x and ethernet address is 10.0.1.252. The server address is 10.0.1.1. How to open ports on the router
Any idea?
Thanks

Hello,
you could configure an extended access list, allowing only those specific ports, and apply that access list to your serial interface. The access list would look like this:
access-list 100 permit tcp any host 10.0.0.1 eq 3389
access-list 100 permit tcp any host 10.0.0.1 eq 5132
access-list 100 permit tcp any host 10.0.0.1 eq 5133
access-list 100 deny ip any host 10.0.0.1
access-list 100 permit ip any any
You would apply this acccess list inbound to your serial interface:
interface serial0
ip access-group 100 in

Opening ports on router

hi all
i am trying to figger out how i can open the port on my rouer as dl speeds are not great as no ports are open
please help

Usually, opening ports will not change speeds. If the connection cannot be made, opening the port will allow it to be made. If the connnection can be made, the speed will be the same.
I have seen posts that suggest otherwise, especially for devices like XBox. I'm very happy to believe these posts but can't understand them; I'd be happy if someone could explain why?
